About this product
Digital mixing has revolutionized virtually everything in the live entertainment production work flow, and now that same cutting-edge technology brings live production signal distribution into the modern age. The DL16 Stage Box provides 16 of our award-winning microphone preamplifiers with switchable +48 V phantom power; 8 balanced Analog XLR returns at the stage end; an integrated ULTRANET output for connecting to Behringer P16-M personal monitor mixers; plus connectivity for your ADAT-compatible outboard equipment.If your application calls for more inputs, or just want to keep your cable runs short and tidy, putting a DL16 at stage front and another behind the drum riser provides an additional 16 inputs for drum and guitar/bass amp mic'ing. The best part - all it takes is a single CAT5 cable per stage box.The Legend in Sound QualityNo-compromise approach to audio and build quality, and in particular for our Award-winning Mic Preamps which are considered by industry experts as the industry's best sounding designs. Building on this legacy, the DL16 features 16 of the very same preamplifiers that are used in our highly-acclaimed PRO Series consoles.ULTRANET - Seamless IntegrationThis revolutionary technology seamlessly transmits up to 16 independent channels of 24-bit digital audio and control data via a single CAT5 cable between compatible digital devices - including mixers, I/O stage boxes, powered loudspeakers and personal monitoring systems.Advantages realized through ULTRANET digital networking, versus traditional analog methods: audio signals are impervious to Radio Frequency Interference (RFI); signal crosstalk is eliminated; and ease of setup translates directly into significant time saved during installation. ULTRANET effectuates a powerful digital eco-system that gives you unparalleled control over every element of your audio production environment from one convenient location.ADAT-ReadyMany manufacturers have adopted the ADAT digital interface as a means of transferring digital data between certain types of audio devices, such as mixers, synthesizers, lighting rigs and effect processors. The DL16's onboard ADAT Outputs enable splitting the high-quality Midas Pro Series preamp signals to outboard devices - including recording systems. When more channels are required, these optical sockets can alternately be used to connect ADAT-equipped D/A converters (such as the Behringer ADA8200) for up to 16 additional Analog outputs.Dual AES50 Ports for Massive ConnectivityConnecting over a single shielded (STP) CAT5 cable, up to three DL16s can be daisy-chained to deliver 48 channels in and 24 out to the stage. Klark Teknik's AES50 simultaneously provides high channel counts, extremely low and deterministic latencies, accurate phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection, network redundancy, with simple deployment and ease of use to meet the needs of the live performance industry. This unique combination also benefits both live and studio recording applications, as well as post-production, broadcasting and audio routing infrastructure. 48 bidirectional audio channels @ 48 kHz over industry-standard RJ45-terminated shielded (STP) CAT5 cable Single cable duplex interconnection for audio and sample clocks Ethernet physical layer audio data transmission High channel count and ultra-low deterministic latency (2x3 samples = 1/8 ms per node) Accurate phase-aligned clock distribution Comprehensive error detection and management Provision for redundant networking - Minimal configuration - total ease of deployment and use - Ethernet TCP/IP protocol-compatible auxiliary data channel Royalty-free implementations available as Xilinx FPGA cores OEM modules available from developer partnersRemotely Controllable Preamps Make Setup a BreezeDL16's ingenious monitoring/head amp control section allows you to select any of the 16 inputs, 8 bus outputs or P-16 output streams for immediate line checks. In addition to signal metering at the stage box, you can also set individual input channel Gain, apply +48 V phantom power - and listen directly to the input signal via headphones and much more. Once set, all configuration settings can be locked at the console for total system security.Assignable Headphones Output for On-Stage MonitoringFor easy set up and signal routing verification, a headphones jack is conveniently located on the front of the DL16, giving you the option of listening directly to any of the 16 inputs.
